What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead GRC and product efforts for cloud initiatives, prioritize vulnerability remediation, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver secure, compliant solutions while advancing in security leadership.

I am a results-oriented product owner and security governance professional with over nine years of experience bridging engineering and business stakeholders to reduce technical risk and ensure compliance. I have led large-scale cloud migrations and managed vulnerability remediation for enterprise financial services environments.

At Charles Schwab I directed the migration of legacy voice products to a CCaaS platform, managed operational risk for thousands of agents and millions of client interactions, and led vulnerability management efforts using Veracode to ensure code compliance prior to production releases. I also defined product roadmaps for 20+ applications, prioritized risk-based backlogs, and led a Scrum team to enforce quality and security acceptance criteria.

I bring expertise in technical risk assessment, gap analysis, third-party risk management, and cloud migration governance, complemented by certifications in Scrum product ownership and an MBA. I focus on pragmatic, measurable security outcomes and cross-functional collaboration to harden systems and maintain business continuity.
